How much does a restoration really cost?
Ok, here is the scenario. Let's say, for example, you have a typical SS396 Chevelle or Z/28 that is all there and numbers matching. The car is a typical 30+ year old car that is in good condition with no major rust and all of its parts, and runs decent. What does it really cost to have a frame off restoration (engine balanced and blueprinted) to bring it to show quality? Let's assume reproduction parts are ok and it's not critical to have paint dabs and chalk marks. Just make it like new and one that can driven on special occasions. What is a ballpark cost to have something like this done?
